This study aimed to describe the home-built environment of children with medical complexity (CMC) using novel photovoice methodology. Parents/guardians of CMC uploaded and discussed photographs of their home environment through semi-structured interviews. Conventional content analysis was applied to interview transcripts embedded with corresponding photographs. All participants modified their home environment to optimize the health, function, and well-being of the child and family; extent of modifications varied. Two main themes and subthemes characterized the home-built environment: (1) replicating hospital function and structure: ensuring accessibility, promoting safety, optimizing organization of supplies, and equipment and (2) maintaining a sense of home: self-expression, entertaining, family participation, and comfort. Elements of hospital structure and function and traditional home aesthetics and utility were equally important to families, the interplay between both facets informed modifications. By understanding the home-built environment, pediatric providers can more holistically support the health and well-being of CMC and their caregivers.

Limitations in solar energy conversion by photocatalysis typically stem from poor underlying charge carrier properties. Transient Absorption (TA) reveals insights on key photocatalytic properties such as charge carrier lifetimes and trapping. However, on the microsecond timescale, these measurements use relatively large probe sizes ranging in millimetres to centimetres which averages the effect of spatial heterogeneity at smaller length scales.

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) provide a window into the nano-optical, electrodynamic response of their host material and its dielectric environment. Graphene/α-RuCl serves as an ideal model system for imaging SPPs since the large work function difference between these two layers facilitates charge transfer that hole dopes graphene with ∼ 10 cm free carriers. In this work, we study the emergent THz response of graphene/α-RuCl heterostructures using our home-built cryogenic scanning near-field optical microscope.

Organic amines (OAs) have gained substantial interest in atmospheric chemistry due to their distinctive acid-base neutralization characteristics for secondary organic aerosols and new particle formation. To address the need for sensitive and online analysis of OAs, including dimethylamine (DMA), diethylamine (DEA), trimethylamine (TMA), and triethylamine (TEA), in seawater, a home-built photoelectron-induced chemical ionization TOFMS, coupled with online derivatization and dynamic purge-release apparatus, has been developed. Sodium hypochlorite is used to derivatize high-solubility DMA and DEA, substituting hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms to obtain more volatile derivatives, [DMA-H + Cl] and [DEA-H + Cl].

Absolute quantity imaging of biomolecules on a single cell level is critical for measurement assurance in biosciences and bioindustries. While infrared (IR) transmission microscopy is a powerful label-free imaging modality capable of chemical quantification, its applicability to hydrated biological samples remains challenging due to the strong IR absorption by water. Traditional IR imaging of hydrated cells relies on powerful light sources, such as synchrotrons, to mitigate the light absorption by water.
